Sprite Swarm

Individually and upon first impression, many sprites seem to be cute and harmless. However, should they get angry or feel the need to act en masse, they gather together into a dangerous swarm. Wielding needles or simply brandishing sharp teeth or claws, a swarm of sprites can catch the unwary by fatal surprise.

Glaring Glow [two-actions] (magical) Many of the sprites in the swarm glow with a painful intensity. All other creatures in a 5-foot emanation (including those in the sprite's space) must succeed at a DC 20 Fortitude save or become dazzled for 1 minute.Spark Bombardment [one-action] (fire, magical, manipulate) In unison, several sprites hurl tiny, hot sparks at a creature within 20 feet, dealing 5d4 fire damage (DC 22 basic Reflex save).Spritely Steal [two-actions] The sprites rummage through the possessions of a single creature within their space, attempting a Thievery check against the creature's Reflex DC. On a success, the sprites take one item of negligible or light Bulk that the creature is carrying but not holding, nor can the item be readied. On a critical success, the item can be one that is held or readied, such as a weapon or potion.Swarming Needles [one-action] The sprites swing tiny rapiers and other pointy weapons to deal 3d6 piercing damage to each enemy in the swarm's space (DC 22 basic Reflex save).

Sprite

Source Monster Core pg. 322
Elusive, flighty, and ebullient, sprites are what many villagers first imagine when they hear the terms “fey” or “fairy.” While their dispositions vary, all sprites share a connection to magic and a diminutive size. This family of fey shares its name with its slightest and most populous member, the common sprite.

Sidebar - Additional Lore Sprite Pranks

Sprite pranks tend to be kind-hearted in nature; they might use their abilities to embarrass a braggart or to trick them into a convoluted scheme to help someone notice an admirer who has been there for them all along. Their plans are often half-baked; sprites' mercurial nature means they can easily become distracted by something new before following through on a previous plan.
